[Libreoffice] [PATCH] [PUSHED] Re: Annoying cursor behavior on sw tables

[Cedric Bosdonnat]

Hello Octavio,

I just checked again the problem I remembered and couldn't reproduce it

someone finds it again later.

I just pushed your patch, many thanks for your help and continue with
those great contributions :)

Regards,
